Qian Wang, Ph.D. Dept. of Chemistry and Biochemistry University of South Carolina Dr. Wang is the Robert L. Sumwalt Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of South Carolina. His specializations and research interests include the following: (1) chemoselective functionalization of bionanoparticles (BNPs); (2) self-assembly of BNPs towards materials development; (3) cell-recognition study with BNP-assemblies; and (4) fluorogenic reaction for protein imaging and recognition. His goal is to build three-dimensional programmable scaffolds that mimic the native extracellular matrices and can be used to probe the cellular activities. Dr. Wang received a Ph.D. and B.A. from Tsinghua University. He served as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Lausanne and The Scripps Research Institute.
